As Jordan Brand continues its Space Jam celebration, the Air Jordan 11 has joined the party.
Days after launching an extensive collection featuring apparel and footwear like the Air Jordan 1 Low and the Jordan Spizike Low, the most iconic silhouette from the movie is returning- the Air Jordan 11. Of course, a momentous celebration like the movie’s 30th anniversary calls for an extra celebration. Jordan Brand has responded with three special colorways of the Jordan 11; the first, launching tomorrow, is inspired by the movie’s magic ball.
In case you need a refresher, the shoe draws inspiration from the magic ball that the Monstars use to steal the talents from NBA superstars Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, and Shawn Bradley. After draining the superstars of their powers, they house them in a glowing magic basketball that turns them into the Monstars we see back in Looney Tunes land.
Jordan Brand has taken this memorable moment and placed it on the Jordan model that had such a special moment in the film. The star of the show is the iridescent upper that reveals different shades and colors depending on the lighting. The details do not stop there, though.
The shoe features an embroidered 23 logo on the heel, the iconic icy midsole, and a metallic Jumpman logo. Of course, you cannot have a special launch without a special box- and the Magic Ball 11 delivers on that front, as well.
The sneaker has delivered on the difficult task of honoring not only the legacy of the Air Jordan 11, but that of the Space Jam movie that so many fans hold close to their hearts. As a result, fans have been treated to a very special rendition of the iconic sneaker with a unique upper and special details that will surely make it one of the most memorable Air Jordan 11 releases for years to come.
The Air Jordan 11 Magic Ball releases tomorrow, November 11th, via Nike and participating retailers like Foot Locker.
